Same here... first frozen was last week on Nov 6 with those graupel showers. today there are wind sent single flakes ... really sparse but they are there if one is nerdy enough to study the air. ha

Light snow falling. 29.9°

Pretty clear it was over much more than Nov 11th. Agree that at least the first half of December looks good, but lets see it produce. There have been several "giddy up" patterns over the course of the past several years that just dissapointed.

100% this is not a snow look. We get snow only when the rockies torch under a huge ridge. Which is extremely unlikely now that we're in a nina. I see a BN winter ahead, at least south of Boston.

Seeing my first light flurries of the season here. A look at traffic cams along I80 and I84 in NE PA shows widespread light snow and flurries with light accumulations especially above 800-1000 ft. This is heading out towards northern New Jersey.

First flakes in Merrimack, nh

Had ice in any potters that I didn’t empty from the rain the night before.

Agreed.

Drought is inherently boring

Since March 2018, there have been 3 events that I was honest to goodness thrilled with, enjoyed and wasn't dissapointed. 12/2019 snow event, 2/1/2021 and 1/7/2024.

We had the big torch drought tho

The last one looks MJO 6 Canonical Nina basically.

We didn’t get as cold as forecast here but did have a hard freeze. Bottomed out at 30.0 and were at/below freezing for 5 hours

Meltdowns Nov 11 over not getting snow in SNE really takes the cake. Those posters are not living in reality. Ave snow is 2 inches and the great majority of that is after Tday. I suppose it makes them feel better but cmon get real.

stay safe.

Was just outside…felt dam cold/winter like cold. Not too shabby for 11/11 imo. We take.

Dropped to 31.9 here…I guess that counts! I had my doubts last night about dropping much lower, these setups usually underperform temp wise.

Steve Ayers got smoked in his Smoky Mountains home.

Got down to 32.9 here and woke up to a dusting of snow on my deck.

Ha! It was a poor attempt at humor. When we're in the middle of a 55-60 degree stretch in Jan with hopeless D10+ progs, SSW talk enters the chat like clockwork. And it never amounts to much lolol. Imho, some winters just want to work and others don't no matter what. Wasted blocking and random storms in the middle of futile indices are as common as typical/predictable stuff that produces. The early signs of the upcoming winter are promising. I think we can all agree on that. I've suspected we're on the front side of a longer duration blocking cycle for a couple of years now. Get things right in the AO/NAO region for the balance of winter and a ratter is prob off the table. Big winters outside of mod ninos are notoriously hard to predict. 13-14 was pessimistic leading in and we all fondly remember that one. I certainly didn't see it coming in Nov. The early Dec storm was a signal but then it got crazy warm before legit winter set in for 3 straight months. Any event during the first half of Dec is usually a reliable sign of an "acceptable" winter. So far it looks pretty good in general for that this year. Time will tell as always
